DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) \u2014 Iranian authorities said Sunday they have executed a man convicted of killing a member of security forces during the 2022 nationwide protests that erupted after the death of a woman in custody of the country\u2019s morality police.<\/a><\/p>\n

Authorities said the fatal shooting took place during unrest in Tehran, where protesters blocked roads and clashed with security forces. <\/p>\n

They said Aref Khoshkar was armed with a pellet gun and fired at security personnel, wounding Salman Amirahmadi, who later died in a hospital.<\/p>\n

According to the authorities, Khoshkar confessed that he fired the gun from the roof of a house and threw it in a trash bin.<\/p>\n
